Abstract
In order to understand the history of the American Republic, it is clear that students of history must contend with the riddle of African American citizenship. This course will critically examine several key issues and time periods in the African American experience and place them within a larger historical context. Also, students will consider the role historians play in shaping popular conceptions of historical events. Using primary and secondary sources and film, students will come to a greater understanding of the central issues presented in the course, and respond to these issues in a series of critical essays, weekly writing assignments and one longer writing project. This course is writing-intensive.
